ABSTRACT:
A large semisubmersible building is made up of a submerged section installed underwater, an intermediate section consisting of a plurality of column structures erected on the submerged section at specified intervals, and an above-water section built upon the intermediate section so that it is always situated above water. The submerged section is made larger than the above-water section. Because of this construction, the large semisubmersible building remain stable and stationary at a specified depth of water even in stormy weather conditions. When the water level changes or when the specific gravity of the building changes as a result of changes in the weight of goods stored in the building, the semisubmersible building can be stably held at the specified depth of water.
